Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you ... the first NaNoWriMo wank of the year!

If you've been to the boards since October, you'll know they've been slow, and that the search function has had to be disabled on and off several times to deal with the load. if you've been around for previous Octobers, you know this is pretty much par for the course whenever that year's boards go up and registration opens -- the site gets flooded, things slow down, the NaNo techies whack things with sticks until things settle down to normality somewhere in the first week of November, usually.

This year, however, this is all causing a smattering of wankery:

"I'm taking my toys and going home!"
"Me too!"
"Me three!"

Small, but tasty. Like aa petit four, in a way.

me, i just wish my t-shirt, mug and merit badges would get here already. woe.

Seriously, the whole point of NaNo is to write 50K words of random crap. It's people like me, who try and write stuff that might be suitable for sending off for publication after cleaning up a bit, who're the odd ones out!

And yeah, the people who somehow go to work/school, flood the boards with posts, and still claim to be finished on, like, day 15 ... Sure, I believe you. (Cheating on NaNo has always struck me as odd. I mean, sure, it's possible to write a 50K novel in a day or three, four, but only if that's all you do, and when it becomes blatantly obvious you cannot possibly have finished so fast with the number of times you're posting, if only because of the limitations of typing speeds, ... why?)
